Behind that arrogant and cocky footballer, there are many unheard stories and unseen character of Cristiano Ronaldo. This is one of many stories which Cristiano we dont know about is made of.

This is a story when Cristiano was still a kid trying for the place in a proper footballing academy Adorinha, Madeira.

"I have to thank you my friend Albert Fantrau for my success. We played together for the U-18 championship. So when the scout came to select us, told that whoever scores more goals will be taken to our academy".

"We won that match 3-0. I scored the first one and Albert scored the second one, but most impressive all was the third goal. Albert was one on one with the goalkeeper and i was running aside him. He passed the goal to me and i scored and went to the academy".

"After the match, i asked him, why?"

"You are better than me" he told me.

Afterwards, journalists went to Albert's house to confirm whether the story is true or not. He confirmed it.

He also told them that his career ended after that match and that now he is unemployed.

"But how did you build this great house, you seem like a rich person? You have a car, and you seem to keep your family also, from where did all these come from?

He replied, "Its from Cristiano!"

P.S: Whether this story is true or not, it doesn't matter as its so touching and heart warming. Teaching the humans of gratitude, and friendship serves a better purpose than the story itself.
